Crafted to be approachable without sacrificing complexity, Shortcut is our everyday espresso blend. Rich chocolate, toasted hazelnut, and crisp apple sweetness come together in an espresso that's excellent on it's own but really shines when paired with steamed milk and your favorite syrup.

Why We Love This Coffee

Great espresso should never force you to choose between drinking it straight or enjoying it with milk. We wanted a blend that could do both exceptionally well.

Shortcut brings together two coffees we already loved for their individual strengths. The Brazil provides the rich body, creamy texture, and chocolate sweetness that hold up beautifully in milk, while Lote Magnolia adds just enough brightness and natural sweetness to make every shot feel lively and balanced. The result is an espresso that's equally enjoyable on its own as it is in your favorite milk drink.

Just as important as flavor is consistency. We wanted Shortcut to be approachable, forgiving, and easy to dial in, whether you're pulling shots every day or just getting started with espresso at home. Our goal was simple: remove as much frustration as possible so you can spend less time chasing the perfect shot and more time enjoying great coffee.

We believe coffee should bring people together. That's why we designed Shortcut to help make every espresso experience an excellent one.

How We Brew It

Shortcut was developed specifically for espresso, with enough sweetness and balance to shine on its own while standing up beautifully in milk drinks.

Brewing Tip

If your shot tastes sharp or sour, grind a little finer or extend your extraction. If it becomes bitter or dry, grind slightly coarser. When it's dialed in, Shortcut produces a syrupy shot with rich chocolate sweetness, toasted hazelnut, and a crisp apple finish that remains present even with milk.
